no surprise who made this thread. Bynum isnt holding himself out first off. Second when you are hoping to make a significant financial investment in this kid like this team is you better be cautious with him.

If I remember correctly he got his injections in early September and based off most the medical (not sports) articles I've read about this it takes 8-10 weeks for it to properly take effect and not have a negative impact. So if my calculations are correct (and it should be cuz it comes of a f'in calader) we're at week 8 and from reports, he's doing workouts. So he's on pace for that he should be.

And yes it's going to be a long season....if we have to put up with this ******** of complaining about a player being out more than three games. If fairness I want to see your thread tomorrow calling JRich soft for being out three games.

Embiid with teammates at the line: "Don't worry, he won't make them. He can't bleep-ing shoot!!"

JRich has an injury.

Bynum doesn't.

You know that the injection was nothing more than a "lube job", right? It wasn't "treatment". It wasn't rehab.

Who did Shaq play for? The brand new Sixers? That team with no structure...no experience (together)...no leadership?

Or did he play somewhere else.

Irrelevant. He was a 7-something 300 lb man that preserved his body by taking his time to start seasons. Beginning of seasons don't matter. We lost to one team. No need for dumb inflammatory threads, but that's your prerogative.

If my young giant doesn't want to start playing til Christmas every season if it means he there for playoff run and playoffs. I don't care.

Sorry, I'm closing this. Possibly the least productive thread I've ever seen. No sense in bickering over speculation of how severely a player is actually injured when we don't know, how much pain he should be playing through in the first place, and how much of a "sissy" that does or does not make him.

If you have something real or insightful to bring to the table, great. If you want to make a subjective thread just to vent about a certain player's level of "discomfort" and call him girl's names, then... Well... No thank you.
